MacGillivray’s Warbler: Geothlypis tolmiei

Near the end of a recent hike we came across several MacGillivray’s Warblers flying rapidly back and forth between willow bushes on each side of the trail we were hiking. These birds rarely took a second to sit still and when they did they were perched deep in the willows. Luckily with a bit of time spent sitting on nearby rocks we were able to get a few photos and a good look at these wonderful little warblers.

We have gone back to the same spot hoping to find them again but they must have just been passing by on their spring migration.
